Roof Repairs in Benson, North Carolina

Many homeowners assume that a few leaks mean they need a full roof replacement, but that’s not always the case. If the damage is isolated—such as missing shingles, minor leaks, or damaged flashing—repairs can restore your roof’s integrity at a fraction of the cost. However, widespread issues like sagging, extensive water damage, or an aging roof (20+ years) may require replacement. Our experts at Snover Contracting thoroughly inspect your roof to determine the most cost-effective and lasting solution.

Not all roofing problems are obvious. Some signs to watch for include water stains on ceilings, peeling paint near the roofline, unusually high energy bills (from poor insulation), and mold or mildew in your attic. Cracked or curling shingles and granules collecting in gutters can also indicate wear. Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, subtle issues can develop over time. A professional inspection can catch these problems early, preventing costly repairs later.

The duration of a roof repair depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs, such as replacing a few shingles or sealing a small leak, can take just a few hours. More extensive repairs, like fixing flashing, underlayment issues, or structural damage, may require a full day or longer. At Snover Contracting, we assess the damage upfront and provide an accurate timeline, so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.

One common mistake is delaying minor repairs, which allows small issues to escalate into major problems. Another is hiring the cheapest contractor without verifying credentials—low-quality work often leads to repeated repairs. Some homeowners also attempt DIY fixes, which can worsen the damage and void warranties. At Snover Contracting, we provide expert, long-lasting repairs and transparent pricing to prevent these costly mistakes.

Yes, but with limitations. While emergency repairs can be performed in wet or cold weather to prevent further damage, permanent fixes are best done in dry conditions. Some roofing materials, like asphalt shingles, require warmth for proper sealing. If repairs must be made in winter, we use cold-weather roofing techniques to ensure durability. If possible, scheduling maintenance before extreme weather hits can help avoid emergency situations.

Regular maintenance is key to extending the life of your roof. Keep gutters clear to prevent water buildup, trim overhanging branches to avoid impact damage, and schedule professional inspections at least once a year. Addressing minor issues promptly, such as replacing damaged shingles or sealing small leaks, can prevent more significant damage. Proper attic insulation and ventilation also help by reducing moisture buildup that can lead to mold and rot.

Yes, but it depends on the age and condition of your current shingles. Roofing materials fade over time, so an exact match may not always be possible. However, we source shingles from a wide range of manufacturers to find the closest match. If a perfect color match isn’t available, we blend new shingles strategically to make the repair less noticeable. Our goal is to ensure a seamless look while maintaining the structural integrity of your roof.

Flashing is the metal material used around chimneys, vents, skylights, and valleys to direct water away from vulnerable areas. If flashing is cracked, improperly installed, or rusted, water can seep beneath your roof, leading to leaks and structural damage. Many leaks we repair aren’t due to missing shingles but rather faulty flashing. That’s why a thorough inspection is crucial—fixing flashing early can save thousands in potential water damage repairs.

Beyond stopping leaks and preventing further damage, roof repairs can enhance your home’s energy efficiency by sealing gaps that allow heat or cold air to escape. They also improve curb appeal, boosting home value. Proper repairs can extend the life of your entire roofing system, delaying the need for a costly replacement. Additionally, addressing issues early can prevent mold growth and protect your home’s structure from long-term damage.

Strong winds, hail, and heavy rain can weaken shingles, loosen nails, or damage the underlying roofing layers. While your roof may appear intact, hidden issues like micro-cracks or lifted shingles can lead to leaks over time. It’s always wise to schedule a post-storm inspection, especially if neighbors are reporting damage. Our team at Snover Contracting can assess potential storm damage and provide preventive repairs before issues escalate.
